Personal:

I herniated/ruptured a disk (L4/L5) in my back in December, 2005.  I told my orthopedic surgeon I wanted to start running.  He said "You'll never run again.".  What a challenge!  So...I started running.

Since then I've lost about 50 pounds, ran 13 marathons and a number of other races. 

I am still a clydesdale runner (over 200 lbs), have a large frame, big bones, and not built like a runner at all.  I'm not fast.  I mostly run to have some time to myself and keep in shape.

After watching the NCAA Cross Country, I'm motivated again to get into shape.  First run.  5.25 at an easy 8:45 pace.  Temperature around 35.  My neice also challenged me to get back into shape and run the St. George marathon next year.  Time to get in shape, loose the weight, and get healthy.

3.11 in North Logan for lunch.  Easy pace 8:26/mile.  Getting back into shape is tough but gratifying.
